This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:

Millions of people rely on the information they obtain via a search engine corporation which just proved it would alter digital reality if instructed to do so by those in political power. That’s some crazy shit, Google.

I don’t understand dragonfruit. It doesn’t really taste like fruit *or* like dragons.

Cool, cool, I have a couple quick questions -- who's in charge of preventing food-induced illnesses right now and how good a job are they doing?

I wonder if there's ever been a political movement before that claimed that immigrants were all carriers of diseases and therefore needed to be removed from society? Eh, it was probably a really positive movement, not one associated with evil in any way

I’m finally playing the Final Fantasy 7 remake and I have to say casting young Charlie Sheen was an interesting choice.

The blackout in Gary, Indiana is another sign of the new normal in America. The affluent know that the climate crisis is going to destroy infrastructure in ways that have not been seen before. Their solution is to allow people to scramble to live without any support or help.

Life unworthy of life, where have I heard that one before?

Crypto might be where elite impunity meets elite decadence completely. There is no point to crypto except crime. You can't buy gas with it. No one takes their wages in it. Yet elites, and not just Trump, act like it's legitimate money.

In my lifetime I don’t think anything has made me want to give up on this broken country like the mass shared delusion about something that happened just a few years ago. So many brains are just completely gone and they’re not coming back.

I think a party that can welcome anti-Trump Republicans can also embrace members of the DSA. I think it should, actually

Not a good time to be named Graham it seems.

Is there a third Graham somewhere who is going down this week?

I just got off the phone with Lindsey Graham. He said he is really sorry for all the war mongering and the pathetic bootlicking of Trump and for enabling his authoritarianism.

Andy Beshear should just steal mcconnell's senate seat the way mcconnell stole Obama's Supreme Court seat.

He's lying grifter nepobaby with repulsive hygiene and eating habits whose career highlights are "repeatedly caused preventable deaths of children" and "set American scientific and medical progress back by years, maybe decades" but he's got a weird thing about working out in jeans and that's style.

I’m seeing so much discourse suddenly about Platner and not a single post links to the source of whatever the recent news is. I love BlueSky sometimes.

We could have had everything in America. We destroyed ourselves due to racism and greed. It's so painful and pitiful.

So, you know,, sorry to the individuals who wanted a nice thing but I wanted a nice thing too and instead I got thi Maybe, when you don't celebrate the whole country, EVERYONE who belongs here and lives here, the celebration should go to shit and everyone should be miserable

This has been the most spiritually bankrupt celebration of anything I've ever seen and that's it, that's our 250th. We don't get to go back and redo it, this one's in the books: Temu Arch, cheesy architecture, horrible displays, AI everywhere. Far right propaganda. Jokes at our expense

Communism is managing your energy usage during periods of high demand so you don’t take down the electrical grid, or something.

Congrats to the Knicks, but could they have perhaps found a way to do this that somehow made Stephen A Smith miserable?

You know what, screw it. I’m rooting for a massive, undeniable, scandal involving a ref getting caught betting on the Finals that results in a bipartisan dismantling of FanDuel, DraftKings, and Kalshi.

Bow before me, ye Wordle mortals

"The on-camera dozing sessions are just one sign of Trump’s growing ailments, which are certainly not helped by staying up all night binging on a Truth Social algo feeding him a unhealthy buffet of Trump-worshipping AI slop, conspiracies, and Boomer meme garbage." — @justinglawe.bsky.social

Let’s give it up for two-time NBA Finals MVP, Tyrese Haliburton’s Achilles tendon.

Ooooh, are we sharing fables? I got one for you. So, there's this frog that enters public service, presumably for the right reasons. He spends years as a district judge, then gets elected to the state supreme court, then attorney general of that state. (thread)

I swear for a strange reason I was actually thinking of Anna Karenina earlier, and then I come across this in The Emperor of All Maladies:

Going out on a limb here but I think this Wembanyama guy is gonna be pretty good.

The top 10 contacts in my text messages are OTPs from various utilities and financial institutions.

Fish: they’re just like us

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

Of all of the movies in the James Bond franchise, Moonraker is almost certainly one of them

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

Didn’t take the bait on today’s Connections. Nice try, NYT.

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

The GOP wants to “DOGE” our state voter rolls. Their so-called “SAVE Act,” wld require ongoing voter purges using citizenship data from sources such as the DHS’s “SAVE”program & SSA. It proposes *no penalties* for erroneous purges but potential *prison time* for erroneous registrations. WTF?! 1/

Quick round up: - the government is covering up evidence the president is a pedophile - he’s openly taking bribes from foreign governments - his masked agents are shooting citizens in the streets - the FBI is helping him steal the election - he’s threatening war against multiple allies 👍👍👍

It’s a really bad sign if they are calling up Roger Stone who ran the Brooks Brothers riot in 2000 (to stop the Florida recount), cavorted with the Proud Boys & Oath Keepers before Jan 6, & was a primary architect of so-called “Stop the Steal” campaigns in 2016, 2018, and 2020, 1/

Is the administration’s bit that they encourage right-wing influencers to find “fraud” in blue states; influencers “investigate” and publish propaganda claiming said widespread fraud was responsibility of immigrants; and then gov’t sends in ICE to terrorize people because of it?

OpenAI exec James Dyett calling out the cowardice

Bookmark that Vice President and future presidential candidate JD Vance retweeted a post that said Alex Pretti was “an assassin who tried to murder federal agents.”

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
